- Thursday, October 4, 2012, 7:22 AM Limited Brands (LTD) saw its monthly sales paced by Victoria's Secret once again with a 6% gain across the brand's 1,017 stores. On a YTD basis, sales for Victoria's Secret are running at a 9% growth clip as it extends its streak of beating most other women's apparel sellers quarter after quarter. Comment! [Consumer]
- Thursday, October 4, 2012, 7:09 AM Limited Brand (LTD) Sep same-store sales: +5.0% beats consensus of +4.3%. Total sales -5.5% to $773.6M. (PR) Comment! [Consumer]
- Tuesday, October 2, 2012, 6:45 AM The National Retail Federation expects holiday sales to rise 4.1% to $586.1B this year. Though the mark would rep the slowest pace of growth since 2009, the forecast is still higher than the average growth of 3.5% realized over the last ten years for the November to December period. Online retail is still a bright spot, with holiday sales expected to rise 12% this year to $96B. 9 Comments [Consumer]
- Monday, October 1, 2012, 1:46 PM Citigroup analyst Deborah Weinswig advises retailers to keep a sharp focus on online initiatives despite the staggering growth numbers bandied about for mobile and social networking sales. Estimates from Forrester Research indicate online retail sales will surge to $327B by 2016 - a mark that is estimated to be 10X greater than what smartphone sales will generate. A roadmap for retailers: Adopt a clever omnichannel strategy that produces synergistic benefits to complement online and brick-and-mortar businesses instead of poaching sales with hyper-aggressive mobile promotions. Comment! [Consumer]
- Friday, September 28, 2012, 11:16 AM Limited Brands (LTD -0.9%) plans to open a Victoria's Secret at Cowboys Stadium in the Dallas area, to test the theory that sports fans will find the time to shop for women's wear, lingerie, and beauty products. The move might bring on a bit of skepticism if not for the fact that the retail chain has a stellar track record of picking where to open stores and one of the strongest runs of consistent same-store sales growth in the sector. 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Thursday, September 27, 2012, 12:44 PM Young shoppers are the force behind the rapid growth of showrooming with their grasp on how to use mobile devices to find the best deals, according to research by AlixPartners. Naturally, Amazon (AMZN +2.2%) appears to be a beneficiary of the trend, but brick-and-mortar retailers could have a secret weapon. A retail brief published by Aimia suggests that the very same savvy young shoppers who make showrooming a force of habit are also the most loyal reward program participants. The end game: A loyalty program with soft benefits could steal Amazon's thunder. 2 Comments [Consumer]
- Tuesday, September 25, 2012, 1:14 PM Toys R Us Chairman Jerry Storch makes the case on Squawk Box that brick-and-mortar stores won't go away anytime soon, but will morph into mini-distribution centers. The line of thought follows a recent trend by retail players of using existing stores as fulfillment centers and showcasing more extensive pick up options to online buyers. The end game: Retail stores see a competitive advantage over Amazon if they can deliver products faster as they still dream about ultimately offering the holy grail of online shopping - same-day delivery. 13 Comments [Consumer]
- Thursday, September 13, 2012, 5:55 PM Cash-strapped consumers may be wary of buying certain items, but Citi's Oliver Chen says they’ll pay up for accessories - driving growth at Buy-rated SIG, TIF and KORS - and want brand names that make them feel like they’re “part of a lifestyle" - think AEO and LTD. But Chen is reserved about apparel, noting “persistently negative" mall traffic in avoiding ANF. Comment! [Consumer, Quick Ideas]
- Thursday, September 13, 2012, 8:38 AM Citi on retail: While the firm sours on the notion that Goldman Sachs can help wring some value out of Abercrombie & Fitch, eight other retailers are initiated as Buys on the prospects of a strong back-to-school and holiday season. Making the grade: SIG, TIF, LTD, KORS, AEO, ROST, TJX, ASNA. Missing the action: URBN, GPS, and COH rated at Neutral. Comment! [Consumer, Quick Ideas]
- Wednesday, September 12, 2012, 7:07 AM ShopperTrak forecasts retail holiday traffic will rise this year for the first time since 2007 with shopping trends looking positive. The data firm sees U.S. retail sales up 3.3% Y/Y and foot traffic gaining 2.8% for the holiday period. 3 Comments [Consumer]
- Thursday, August 30, 2012, 1:55 PM Today's round of strong sale reports from major retailers may give firms the confidence to hold back on more promotional activity heading into the holiday season, according to AlixPartners. One promising trend is that shoppers stepped out to buy bolder, more fashion-oriented lines - instead of just replenishing the basics. With the retail table now set for a strong Q3 as the back-to-school season roars to a powerful start, optimism starts to creep up that consumers might even keep the good vibes going right through the crucial holiday period. Comment! [Consumer]
- Thursday, August 30, 2012, 7:13 AM Once again the secret to Limited Brand's (LTD) success is strong sales at Victoria's Secret stores. The 9% jump in August sales at Victoria's Secret comes off of a very strong 2011 comparable and provides more evidence that the brand is one of the most resilient in retail. Comment! [Consumer]
- Thursday, August 30, 2012, 7:08 AM Limited Brand (LTD) same-store sales: +8.0%. Total sales -5.2% to $665.6M (PR) Comment! [Consumer]
- Monday, August 27, 2012, 10:30 AM UBS sees a good start to the back-to-school spending season for a majority of U.S. retailers. A decreased promotional stance by the sector and cooling weather trends should help bottom lines. On watch for a Q3 boost: GPS, TJX, ROST, LTD. Comment! [Consumer]
- Friday, August 24, 2012, 2:50 PM Retailers are finally catching on to what plus-size women shoppers really want to see in stores, ditching the older-looking loose look for trendier lines. It's a segment increasingly in focus with sales toppling $19.4B and claiming 32% of all women shoppers looking for apparel, according to data from NPD Group. Leading plus-size players: Torrid (HOTT), Limited (LTD), H&M, Lane Bryant (CHRS), and Lucky Brand (LIZ). 5 Comments [Consumer]
- Friday, August 17, 2012, 12:18 PM Fashion retailer Dots plans to expand into a 1K national brand. The company was taken private by Irving Capital in 2011 when it had close to 400 stores. If the large-scale expansion takes hold it could present competition pressure on privately-held Charming Shoppes, Chico's FAS (CHS +3.6%), Coldwater Creek (CWTR), and Limited Brands (LTD +1.1%) amongst others.
